Description

The traffic light at the intersection of Rt. 43 and Best Rd. turns red too quickly once a vehicle on Best Rd. reaches the intersection with Rt. 43. Since traffic on Rt 43 is on a State Hwy and is traveling at 45 mph, vehicles waiting for the light to change should have to wait longer. Instead, the light changes immediately after vehicles on Best Rd. reach the intersection, interrupting the flow of traffic on 43. In the winter, this is particularly bad, as eastbound 43 traffic is forced to stop in the middle of a long hill just to let a single vehicle enter 43. This is dangerous and inconvenient to drivers on Rt. 43.
